Sony A90K OLED TV (42”) unboxing, setup and first impressions. This is Sony’s smallest OLED TV that I’ve been using as a monitor with the PS5. Let’s get this unboxed and see how good it is.

I personally bought this tv and I agree with everything you’ve said. I chose this one over the LG mainly due to it processor which has slightly better upscaling and better overall image quality thanks to it. I’ve got to it attached a Sonos beam sound bar with sub mini and it elevates the sound performance (especially for music) and thus a better experience. Furthermore, I personally don’t find of a problem not having support for 1440p as only have a ps5 and a Apple TV which is more than enough to get the most out of the tv. Finally, regarding the feature of a game dashboard that competitors like the LG and Samsung have, I do believe that this will be implemented later this year with a software update, but correct me if I’m wrong. I’m really happy with my purchase and I can’t complain about anything tbh. 😃 Love all of your contentm keep up that great work!! ❤

I compared the 48 inch version of this television with the Sony A80K 55 inch, and due the size of the A80K 55, I chose that one instead. They are really, really close, where as the A90K has a deeper black contrast than the A80K. I really love the slim backlit remote you get with the A90K televisions or better, so I will be buying a remote like the one that comes standard with the A90K to go with my A80K! I think this would make a great monitor for a Mac Studio, or iMac Pro (though many prefer the 5K monitors).

If you’re in the US and size doesn’t matter to you, the 55” A90J is on sale for $999 right now at Best Buy as of this post. It’s $2-300 cheaper than the 42”/48” A90K and better especially with a heat sink, better speakers, and size to name a few. Insane deal. A90K might be the successor by model name but A90J is spec’ed better overall.

Hey man you and I have had the same ever changing setups but I have a question! I use my lg gp950b for competitive gaming and it’s been great! Only problem is these newer TV’s that I’ve been constantly switching. Had the leg cx hated it because it had so much black crush, had the lg g1 had it for longer but then realized bad black crush and dimness in games, recently I just tried the Samsung s95b and it was either broken or insanely inaccurate. What would you say is the best tv you’ve ever used and if oled or qd oled, which had the least black crush out of all of em? I like to play games like halo, cod, gears, on my monitor, I want to play more immersive story games on a tv but I hate losing shadow detail but also don’t like poor contrast/ washed out flat image from IPS panel with my gp950. Games that really show the gp950’s flaws are games like resident evil 4 remake in dark scenes.

I got a 48" version of the a90k and it's fantastic in every area that matters to me (mostly PS5 and some light TV / movies). Personally I don't like the Google TV interface because it displays advertisements on the home page. I booted my brand new TV up and it was showing me ads for fast food. No thanks... I ended up going with an Apple TV instead, which has been fantastic, and hasn't had any ads on the home page. The colors on this TV are so incredible, and I was shocked to see just how much better it is at displaying HDR compared to my supposedly HDR Samsung 28" 4K monitor. It might be that I wasn't using the correct port for the PS5 on the monitor, but I never noticed a difference with HDR on or off, even though I use an HDMI 2.1 cable. But on this Bravia I was blown away. It's such an immense difference. I think the Samsung monitor is either LCD or IPS which may also play a role in it not looking as good.

The upcoming L series of Sony TVs will have gaming hubs and other features it's just a real shame they opted to not update their A90K lineup as they probably would have stood to benefit from it the most. Instead they're just keeping it as it is and if you want a gaming hub and other new processing stuff, your next OLED option is the A80L at 55 inches.

The picture qualify on this TV is next level. The only negatives are brightness, but still bright enough for true HDR.. Doesn't have four HDMI 2.1 ports, no DP (pipe dream) . I use an 8k switch to get around the HDMI port issue. Great TV. I won't be upgrading until QD-OLED 27-32", 240hz with HDMI 2.1/DP 2.1 monitors become a thing.
